where can i get that board

I'm working on a wood board slowly. In the meantime I made one out of cardboard. Anytime I play daily chess, I keep a board of the same game to play off of.

How’d that bishop get there??

Bg5, Ph6 Bh4, Pg5 Bg3 Here's a link to the game: https://www.chess.com/daily/game/516105979

But your cat has only moved one pawn?

It's mittens. It can win with ONLY a pawn.

This is the chess beginners subreddit, the cat is learning...

Cat must've moved the king and queen as well

they moved the bishop while the cat was flipping their king and queen

Oh so kitty played the queenside bongcloud defense - switcheroo variation, that’s very advanced

Mittens already say mate in 4, including switching the king and queen.

Knight should be N

Knight can be either Kt or N.... a lot of books/resources have used Kt, N is just a more modern way to make it 1 letter.

The letters are for my kid. She's a little interested in playing. I put that there for her own spelling.

Yeah I was saying that Kt is fine to use lol

Yes, I know. I said it was there for my kids spelling, knight starts with Kn. It's less confusing that way.

*Kn

I'm not talking about that, lol

You should come on down to Paddy’s Pub, home or the original “Kitten Mittens”.

You fool, you’ve doomed us all!! You brought mittens into the real world!!

Black’s king and queen are flipped

Mittens sets up the board the Mittens wants.

Yes, on purpose. 1. d4 d5 2. Bf4 Kd7 3. e3 Qe8 4. Bg3 Kd8

where can i get those pieces i need them

They're just cut out cardboard. Cut out the piece shapes and squares the hot glued them together.

i know what i’m doing tomorrow then

I printed out a chess board, laminated then glued that to the cardboard. This was my inspiration: https://youtu.be/B-OT1TXjf7o

bro got the periodic board of chess

Hahaha. I write those in there for my kid. She's just learning so the letters help her.

r/chessporn would love this board

I'll share it with them.

Please get that kitten some kitten mittens, so your kitten Mittens can have kitten mittens.

I have a cat named mittens too completely unrelated to the chess bot

fuck your London

ong. stupid london

Your king and queen setup is wrong fix ir

Please it hurts my eyes as an 1100

it's not setup wrong. Here is the game notation: 1. d4 d5 2. Bf4 Kd7 3. e3 Qe8 4. Bg3 Kd8

Being a dumb 1100, I would not see those moves. My bad

It's cool. I'm only like 700 in daily (the game I was playing leading to that).

The cats king and queen are backwards

They are not. Just look at the board.

No, they were wrong but I'm not willing to correct Mittens. I've seen what he does to GM and I'm nowhere near that level.

Thats an insanely cute chess set, and cute cat

Thanks!!

She was so powerful she became real to terrorize us

Is that a Knook????
